A Detailed look at the New 60 Years Edition MINI
Last week we announced the forthcoming 60 Years Edition MINI based on the 2019 F55 and F56. As you’d expect this is a bit more than just a sticker based special edition as it’s a worldwide release. But just what’s special about this car? Let’s dissect.
The anniversary edition comes in the all-new body color British Racing Green IV Metallic that will initially remain exclusive to this model (before becoming available in other models later in the year).
Additional colors available for this special edition include Midnight Black Metallic, Lapisluxury Blue and Melting Silver. The big news to us is the addition of Pepper white as a top color – the first time that’s been available since the 2009 WC50.
Additionally, the 60 Years Edition Bonnet Stripe come in; Black Matte with Aspen White and British Oak, or Pepper White, BRG and Aspen White.
Special features on the 60YE include:
– 60 Years Edition Side Scuttle
– 60 Years Edition LED Logo Projection
– 60 Years Edition Bonnet Stripe
– 60 Years Edition Specific 17-inch Two-Tone
– 60 Years Edition Badge on Front and Rear Seats
– MINI Yours “Walknappa” Leather Steering Wheel with 60 Years Edition Badge
– MINI Yours Leather Lounge Seats in Dark Maroon with Contrast Piping
– 60 Years Edition Specific Illuminated Interior Surface
– 60 Years Edition Seat Badge
– 60 Years Edition Door Sill Badge
Start of production for the MINI 60 Years Edition will begin in March 2019 with final pricing coming shortly afterwards.
<p>love those seats</p>
<p>BRG III looks a little brighter and more towards yellow (i.e. less blue in the color) than BRG II? (And I seem to recall BRG 1 had more blue than BRG II in it?)</p>
<p>Could be some major post-production on the colors in those pro photos…. but I prefer a darker BRG — in fact I prefer Connaught Green (the best color ever!)</p>
<p>Agreed on Connaught Green. BTW the exclusive JCW Rebel Green is essentially a production version of Connaught. The way that MINI created Connaught was an initial layer of Midnight Black and then a layer of green on top. Rebel doesn’t go that far but the overall look is similar.</p>
<p>I’ve never liked British Racing Green.
I <b>really</b> like this British Racing Green.</p>
<p>Occam’s Razor: you don’t like British Racing Green, and this is not really British Racing Green.</p>
<p>This is real BRG — it’s very very dark, and non-metallic, and for those of us into it, cannot be beat:</p>

<p>Couldn’t agree more.</p>
<p>Quintessentially British, especially with BRG painted wire wheels and patinated brown leather upholstery – both of which are de rigueur at Goodwood.</p>

<p>BRG IV looks great, but is not going to be exclusive for long. Coming to all F5x and F60 cars with June production.</p>
<p>True.</p>
<p>So, is it called BRG III or BRG IV ?</p>
iv I understand
